Refinery29 has a fantastic outfit guide this morning, detailing a few ways you can look totally chic and not freeze to death. We showed you which jeans to wear, now take it a step further by copying some of these below zero-ready looks!

“We walked inside 20 minutes ago, and we still can’t feel our fingers and toes. Our hot coffees are now iced coffees. There are icicles hanging from our heads where there should be hair. We know you feel us — it’s effin’ COLD out there. Like, can’t-feel-your-face, walk-backwards-to-avoid-the-wind cold…” (Read more)

Need to remove the odor from a pair of jeans so you can rock them at all of your holiday gatherings this year? Yeah, that’s right, we know you’re going to wear your favorite pair to literally every social function you’re invited to. Don’t let the stank ruin your festive swagger! While you’re buzzing about doing last minute holiday tasks,dampen your jeans in water. Then, hang them out on the laundry line and let the fresh air penetrate them. Spritz them a few times with Febreeze, and bring them inside at the end of the day.

Before your jeans go under the knife you’ll want to make sure the shoes you measure with are the shoes you’re planning to pair with the jeans (or at the least, a similar heel/lack of heel). This will take the guess work out of figuring out the measurement you’ll be happiest with.

So you already know how to care for your jeans, but once they’re spic-and-span and free of stains, do you know how to properly fold and store them to reduce wear-out? Stylecaster has something to say about that:

“Fold jeans like a pro: Lay jeans on a flat surface, fold in half from left to right. Grab the stacked jean legs and fold them in half so the hem of the jeans lines up with the waistband. Fold the jeans in half one more time.

Denim needs to breathe, so be sure to not pack folded pairs too tightly together on a shelf, or hand denim jackets or vests in a crowded closet”

It’s been a while since we waxed denim-addict on ya, so today we’re brushing up on the best ways to wash and care for your jeans. Whether you spilled a glass of wine, got a regular old grass stain or just caught a whiff of your beloved unique-as-a-snowflake raw denim creation, we’ve got the remedy you need below.

-

General Spot treatment

For those paranoid of losing any indigo hue while spot treating, a combination of white vinegar and water can be sponged over the stain and left for up to 3 hours. Rinse and let air dry. If your jeans are pre-washed or don’t risk dye-loss, spray some OxiClean on the stain and let it sit overnight. Rinse in the morning, and let air dry.

Wax spills

If someone blew out the birthday candles all over your jeans, you can remove very easily, even if it’s dried and crusty. Lay them over a towel, and put a brown paper bag over the wax stain. Press over the brown paper with your iron and watch as the wax is lifted right out of the fibers and into the paper. Depending on the volume of wax, you may need more brown paper — and it may take a few intervals of pressing, but it’ll come out.

Note: You may find this process oddly satisfying. Don’t be surprised if you purposely spill wax all over your jeans in the future, just for fun.

Stinky raw denim

Repeat after us: When raw denim stinks, you no longer the cool guy in raw jeans. You’re the stinky guy in stinky jeans. To remedy this, you have two basic options. One is to turn them inside-out and hand wash them with a gentle laundry soap of white vinegar/water combo, and hang to dry. Another is to put them in a freezer bag and let them sit in the freezer over night. You’ll have to decide which you prefer, depending on your own personal level of stink.

Pre-washed denim

Turn these babies inside-out, throw them in the washer, and hang them to dry. Bada-bing!

Actress Keira Knightley stepped out in London recently showing an alarming denial of her grown up status. While the pair of Citizens of Humanity overall jeans she wore could have been cool, the rest of the outfit translated into tween-with-a-massive-allowance. She wore the jeans with a striped knit top and a mini Chanel purse with converse sneakers and black framed glasses. Anyone out there familiar with Tommy February6? Yeeeah…. This is a “how not to wear it” post.

Tips for pulling off overalls without looking like a 7-year-old include investing in a pair that are tailored (or having us tailor them), wearing them with heels, ditching the kiddie purse and polishing the rest of your look.

If you think you can handle it, grab a pair of Citizens of Humanity overall jeans. And don’t worry, Keira, we still love you. We just want you to learn from your mistakes.
